THEIR WAGES ADVANCED
Employes of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel Company the Fortunate Ones.
ORDER WAS rOSTED SATURDAY
A Raise of 10 Per Cent. Will Go Into Ef
feet at the Steel Mills Monday,
Jnly 1 -Prospect of Steudy Work
la Very Bright.
Very cheerful news flashed through
out the city Suturday evening, convey
lug the Information that notices were
posted up ut thi mills of the Lauka
Wanna Iron and Steel company an
ivjunclng an advance of 10 per cent. In
the wages of th niucliunli'H, tonnage
nieit and laborers, to go Into effect on
Monday. July 1.
When the cut In the wages of Its em
ploye was made In September, lSi)3, the
company promised to restore the redile
tlon as Koomi as the steel trade should
get better. The following bulletin from
the American Iron uud Steel associa
tion gives a most encouraging forecast
of the trade:
"On June 10 we unnoiio'ed that an
early Increase In the price of Steel rails
from J to $24 was exceeding probable.
Weoun now state that sules were mude
last week ut I'eiiimylvunlH, mills at (24,
und that other Pennsylvania mills de
ellne tu enter orders at any lower price.
We feel sure that before the week ends
all the steel lull mills In the country
Will udt-uuee their price to a basis of J-4
at Pennsylvania mills. Since the first
of June large sules of rails huve been
made In the east uud west.
IT Ices Still Advancing.
"Prices of other Iron and steel pro-
ducti are still advancing. The demand
Is entirely normal, und results from re-
duoed stocks u:.d Increased confidence
in the future."
The advance does not apply to fore
men, superintendents and salaried em
ployes, but It will affect between 6,000
and 6.000 men i.-j this city and it will
mean that there will be about $-3,000
more per month paid out among the
working classes than Is at present.
The increase tu wages is reinforced
with the welcome assurance that the
South Steel mill Is now at work on a
single cider which It will take the re
mainUer of the present year to fill. The
mil! Is running on double turn. Tiie
North works, it Is given out from trust
worthy sources, will continue on double
turn for ut feast three months.
Business jneir regard the Iron and
steel trade as an Index to the general
Industry of Hip country, and It Is ex
pected that there will soon be a revival
In the coal trade.

Address by Principal Loomls.
Friday dawned with dull skies and
threatening weather, and the anxious
Seniors of Keystone academy, at Fac
toryvllle, and f ther almost equally anx
ious friends feared an unfavorable time
fur the graduating exercise.
The grove was carefully and tasteful
ly arranged, the platform artistically
trimmed, and a larger number of seats
ithun ever before provided, and each so
placed that a full view of the plutfomii
was obtainable. The Intense heat and
hot sun of the previous day was allevi
ated, for no rain of amount fell until
the young ladles uud gentlemen had
performed their purls, the diplomas
had been presented and prizes awarded.
A large number of clergymen were
present und the friends of Keystone
seemed to huve .mude a generul rally
to witness (lie gruiluatlon of one of the
largest, us well us one of the brightest
classes thut evereompleted their studies
In this uioHt excellent Institution of
learning. All were pleased to notice
the presence of Kev. Dr. Harris, tile
president of Uilfkuell, tile founder and
father of Keystone.
The e.-'suys ami oral Ions were all of
an unusuully high older of excellence,
and reflected great credit not only on
the sixteen graduates, but also on
Principal Loomls and the other ilium
'bus of the faculty. The grasp it
thought, the familiarity evinced with
the living Issues of the 'times, and the
manner us well us mutter of the essays
and orations, gave evidence of the char
acter of the work under the present ad
ministration, and the friends of the
academy were excusably proud on the
closing day of '95.
Prayer by Rov. Dr. Harris.
A.fter music by the band at 10.30,
prayer was offered by John Howard
Harris, Ph. D LL. D., of Bwknell uni
versity, und the programme was car
lied out us follows:
Mulutatory oration, "Municipal Gov
ernment In the Cities of the United
Stutes," Kniry J. 'Dunklee, of Wyulus
Ing. He portrayed the danger to free
Institutions In .municipal corruption,
and prescribed as an effective remedy a
well-guarded ballot.
Essay, "Joan of Arc," Ladusky Baril
la Humes, of Kellam, Pu.
Essay, "The American Idol," Ethel
Wiigley Carr, Fac toryvllle. The Idol
worshipped Is wealth, gold, silver,
stocks. They enter Into the social, politi
cal und even religious life. It was
bright und sprightly, mid abounded
With keen thrusts that the audience
evidently enjoyed.
Oration, "Political Corruption and Its
Reformation," George Henry Catterall,
Wyoming. It was good and exceeding
ly true.
Essay, "The Destiny of the Jews,"

Nine," Vlda Maria Cramer, Factory

ful. The argument was that in all
things as a people we are progressing.
It was grandly optimistic.
Oration, "The Neglected Classic,"
Frank Elmer Depew, Hainfevllle, N.
J. The Bible was the subject. The
best of Demosthenes' efforts cannot
compare with the Sermon on the Mount,
nor can the poems of Virgil and Homer
equal for grandness of expression those
of the books of Job and Isaiah, The
psalms surpass all lyric poetry ever
known. This classic enters Into law,
literature and social life. No school Is
complete -which neglects this classic.
It Is not a question of religion, but of
average Intelligence.
Essay, "Jean Valjean," Mary Louisa
Hull, of Olyphant. An historical essny,
showing deep research and careful

political reformation started by French
revolution the third will be social revo
tlon. The Indications betoken It. All
were delivered wonderfully well, re
flecting great credit on the elocutionary
training of , the academy. There was
less of sophomorlc artificiality than Is
usual on such occasion, but while all
did unusually well, a brilliant -future
was freely predicted for the valedic
torian. The orations und essays were
Interspersed with music.
Principal Loomls delivered to. short
address to the class, which was replete
with wise counsel and wus a credit to
